I can totally see that. I mean you have to stop her from laughing at your tiny pecker somehow right?

At the risk of being thought of as the "Net Nanny" (obssesive, overcontrolling, and boring) let me re-post something from the Troll thread:

Flamebait is a message posted to a public Internet discussion group, such as a forum, newsgroup or mailing list, with the intent of provoking an angry response (a "flame") or argument over a topic the troll often has no real interest in. (This is not to be confused with tweaking someone.)

There are various motives or explanations for this behavior. The most popular is the desire for attention and the desire for entertainment at the expense of others. Posted flamebait can provide the posting party with a controlled trigger-and-response setting in which to engage in conflicts and indulge aggressive behavior anonymously...

Taking the bait refers to someone who responds to the original message regardless of whether they are aware the original message was intended to provoke a response. Often when someone takes the bait, others will point out to them YHBT for "You have been trolled." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamebait

I for one have no wish to be an ant in the nest that some people think they're stirring up with a stick.

Reality sucks. Especially when it contradicts our cherished ideas.

Hilarious Fletch2, I would have never guessed you had it in you to type the word pecker. Good job.

I was wondering how people classify sexual slavery / prostitution.

1) religious issue - against the laws of god
2) ethical issue - demeans all humans
3) social issue - not a problem except for congruent social disorder
4) economic issue- the ultimate form of capitalism

As two completely different things.

Sex slavery, or forced prostitution, is slavery, with all the evils that pertain to slavery.

Prostitution free from duress by pimp or other coercive figure is a job.

4) economic issue- the ultimate form of capitalism

1) who is this god of which you speak?
2) sex is demeaning, or paying for sex is demeaning? How much does a nice dinner and a show cost?
3) if legal and regulated like dentists, hairdressers, etc., see no reason for social disorder
4) It's a job.

And 5) health issues - If licensed and inspected and requiring safe sex practices, should be safer than it is now.

Yeah... give them all Burkas. Why is everything black and white with you anyways? I can't honestly believe that you were even being serious there. This train of thought would be just like if I were to bring up the merits of the legalization of pot and you said, yeah, we should just legalize cocaine and heroin and meth and then the government could make tax money on it and make sure that we get "clean" drugs. Go bother somebody else troll.

I said the reasoning was similar, your reasoning was essentially:
"Men can't control themselves so we shouldn't legalise prostitution"
The reasoning behind the Burka is essentially:
"Men can't control themselves so Women shouldn't be seen uncovered in public"

The reasoning is actually astoundingly similar, and in fact you're cannabis to cocaine analogy is not only completely irrelevant but also a red herring AND strawman.

If you notice I contradicted you before anyone else, so hardly jumping on the bandwagon, but I'd hate to break your dellusion that my opinions and I'm sure the world somehow revolves around you, eh.

And seriously, you accusing anyone of black and white thinking is an exercise in gross hypocrisy.

As for the troll comment I really wish you'd see the irony in calling me a troll when I didn't attack you personally, in a post that was little more than a string of ad hominems thrown my way no less.

For crying out loud get medication, TrollStringJack.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

These questions are not indicative of my attitudes toward the topic. I was trying to be inclusive of the different rationales through which people might come at the topic.

As I understand it, most prostitutes in the US are 'run' by a pimp, or rarely a madam. There are few free-lancers in the business. That's why I put prostitution / slavery in the same general category.

1) who is this god of which you speak?
The god(s) of choice of the person answering the question.
2) sex is demeaning, or paying for sex is demeaning?
It's geared toward slaved / pimped sex.
3) if legal and regulated like dentists, hairdressers, etc., see no reason for social disorder
4) it's a job
Again, it's geared towrd slaved / pimped sex.

And 5) health issues - If licensed and inspected and requiring safe sex practices, should be safer than it is now.
I'd put this under 3)

Citizen,

"I said the reasoning was similar, your reasoning was essentially:
"Men can't control themselves so we shouldn't legalise prostitution"
The reasoning behind the Burka is essentially:
"Men can't control themselves so Women shouldn't be seen uncovered in public"

I also did see the parallel, but you posted first and more completely.

I suspect that this is in large part due to the fact that prostitution is illegal, and pimps and other coercers can hold this over their workers. Unfortunately, the contrived moral stigma on prostitution also lets pimps, etc. literally get away with murder. In many countries, the cops are in on the deal.

Slavery is slavery, and it demeans everyone who comes in contact with it. There is no ethical ground for such people to stand on.

On the other hand, prostitutes in the legal brothels in Nevada, based on what I've seen newswise, consider it a job like any other. At the high end, prostitutes can apparently make good money with no coercion and madams seem to be more of a vetting service, if the recent bust of a madam here in D.C. is any guide.

edit to add: I generally don't let the pronouncements of 'god' sway my thinking. Show me one and maybe I'll change my mind.
